I am an easy-going, liberal and open minded person.

Living my life under the flying missiles and drones in a capital of the country that is in war with ruzzian motherfuckers. I love my life so much. Now I understand it even more.

I like DIY (Do It Yourself) and conceptual underground stuff. But nothing is as good, as nature is! Any club or pub or any other place can’t ever be as good, as that breathtaking nature, that surrounds us everywhere! I can find smth good in almost everything and a small detail can make me really happy! And of course, I really appreciate kind, good people, I can have meaningful conversations with. Also, I prefer people, who do smth interesting, not just work-family-work way of life. I am really a dreamer and I want to do so much stuff more in my life and I want to meet a lot of good people! I am the kind of person, who can not sit for a long time in the same place. I need to develop all the time!

Music, Movies, and Books

I used to play in some bands on guitar and bass. We played hardcore most of all. Also I used to DJ a bit. Now I am more into experimental stuff and old school instrumental music like shoegaze. But as for listening now I like stuff like noise, ambient, breakbit, jazz, different underground pop, shoegaze, grange, different, hip-hop, soul, hardcore, grindcore and all other genres that you can imagine . All genres are good for a suitable mood.

My favourite book is Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, by Jonathan Safran Foer and 1984 by Orwell

Usually I don't watch series and blockbusters but since recently like spending evenings watch a quality film. I like asian movies: many Wong Kar-Wai movies, or Burning by Lee Chang-dong or Ritual by Hideaki Anno. My other favorite movies are Aftersun, Enter the void, Stay by Mark Forster, Into the wild, also I like Ari Aster’s and Safdie brothers’ movies.
